October 1st - A new month already!

October is here, and we greeted it with a productive day at school.  Starting with Bible, we worked on our list of the books of the Bible today.  See if your child can list the books of the Bible up to Ezra (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra), as they should have this memorized by now, and many demonstrated that they did in class today.  Then we continued our discussion on the importance of building our lives on the Rock.

The children then had a silent reading block, followed by Writing Workshop, where we continued to work with the sensory detail of colour.  We also started work on a colour poem today!

After recess the children has Music, and then we went on to Math.  We continued through to the last page of this chapter in the Grade 3 text (Show What You Know), and the Grade 4's are working on some extra practice sheets as well.  If the students weren't done their corrections which were for homework, they were expected to complete them before any other work in class.  We also started subtraction in our math drills today, so if you're working on this at home, please switch from addition to subtraction to help with their skills.

After lunch we had S.S., and the students worked on finishing off their culture posters.  These should be quite the works of art and information by the time they're complete, as they're going to share with the class many of the traditions their families have!  I'm looking forward to reading them. :)

The class ended their day with Library and P.E.

Take care and have a restful evening!
